Yep to help keep the F1 team going

Minardi is selling there F3000 team. The money from that and hopefully getting some of the TV money like they should for coming 10th in a race, will hopefully keep em on the track for the rest of the year.

So Webber can sell himself to the other teams

Sounds like we could be loosing another race team in the not to distant future then. It would be very sad for Webber to lose the drive....I did read yesterday on one of the European F1 sites that he might get a drive with Toyota,,,,,don't know how that would work,,,but

its a money thing ryan.

they can't afford to develop the car as much due to lack of funds.

also one of there past engineering ideas was to reduce power to increase reliability. Which has worked as the Mindari's seem to only not finish a race when they crash. They just gotta find some speed.

Ah so that's why. Everytime i hear about Minardi someone's calling them crap, and saying they are the slowest team in F1.. but like you said their cars are very reliable pity they can't keep up with ne1..

There always going to be a last place in F1...Mindari are the holders at the moment.

Briscoe.....uuummmmm. awsome driver, seen him in karts once or twice. I think if the Webber/Toyota thing came off it would be at the expensive of McNish. Briscoe would just wait till Salo moves on. His still young, and to be fair, isn't performing like he did last year. He just crashed the Toyota F1 yesterday too.

Don't forget Courtney. His still one of two drivers and i think yougest drivers win back to back Karting World Championships.

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
